Italian Agent Predicts ‘Lookman Will Join Inter Milan’ After Drawn-Out Transfer Saga | OneFootball

Italian agent Dario Canovi is confident that Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman will join Inter Milan in the end after a drawn-out saga.

Canovi gave his thoughts to Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb. He also argued that the Nerazzurri need to sign a defender before the transfer window closes.

The transfer saga between Inter, Atalanta, and Ademola Lookman has now dragged on for the better part of a month.

Inter have made two offers for the Nigerian international. First, they made a bid worth €40 million all-in. Then, after Atalanta rejected that, they increased it to €45 million including add-ons.

Atalanta then rejected Inter’s second bid for Lookman.

And in the meantime, the former RB Leipzig forward has done everything he possibly can to force through a move to Inter.

Lookman has publicly demanded a transfer. he has also no-showed training for well over a week.

Italian agent Dario Canovi commented on the long transfer saga with Lookman and Inter that “these stories can really go on forever.”

“But in the end, Lookman will join Inter,” he predicted.

Meanwhile, Canovi also commented on the links between Inter and Roma’s Manu Kone. “Roma would be losing a lot,” the agent said.

“He’s a player who Gasperini is a fan of. I don’t know whether they’re willing to sell him. Unless they already have a replacement ready.”

Then, Canovi argued that Inter “need to sign a defender.”

“The ones they currently have certainly aren’t as good as they were a few years ago,” he argued.
